It can interpret the comprehension and production of texts. This paper first makes a thematic analysis of the English original text and the Chinese target text, and then makes a comparative study of them in terms of the textual properties. It is found that in reproduction of target text, theme equivalence can not only help to realize the coherence of the target text with the same effect on receptors but also can save translation efforts. It is unnecessary to change the theme-rheme arrangements of the original unless it is required due to the social and cultural differences between English and Chinese.展开更多
